“…issuing threats of rape) endorsed hostile sexism more than non-harassing participants. Furthermore, sexist beliefs have also been associated with greater levels of cyber-dating abuse, such as spreading false rumours about a partner online and sharing sexual texts received from a partner (Martinez-Pecino & Duran, 2016;Morelli et al, 2016). In addition, research has demonstrated a relationship between aversive personality traits and perpetrating forms of TFSV.…”

“…Sexist ideologies held towards gender roles, behaviours, and relationships in society are deemed an important factor in sexual violence, especially towards women (Glick & Fiske, 1996. Furthermore, measures of sexist ideology, such as the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick & Fiske, 1996), have recently been used to demonstrate the relationship between sexism and the perpetration of online sexual violence (Martinez-Pecino & Duran, 2016;Morelli et al, 2016;Tang & Fox, 2016). Therefore, it appears necessary that research also examines the relationship between sexism and revenge porn proclivity.…”

“…These include cyber-dating abuse (Henry & Powell, 2015b;Martinez-Pecino & Duran, 2016), cyber-harassment (Woodlock, 2016), and the non-consensual sharing of sexual texts (Morelli, Bianchi, Baiocco, Pezzuti, & Chirumbolo, 2016). For example, sharing (or threatening to share) intimate images onto social media has been identified as a behaviour engaged in by perpetrators of cyber-dating abuse and harassment (Henry & Powell, 2015b;Woodlock, 2016).…”

This paper presents a novel study, exploring a form of technology facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) known as revenge porn. Despite its emerging prevalence, little is known about the characteristics of revenge porn perpetrators. In the current study, a revenge porn proclivity scale was devised to examine participants' behavioural propensity to engage in revenge porn. One hundred adults, aged 18-54, were recruited online from a community sample. The correlational relationship between revenge porn proclivity and the self-reported endorsement of the Dark Triad, sadism, and ambivalent sexism was examined. Additional proclivity subscales of revenge porn enjoyment and revenge porn approval were also created. The study's main findings revealed a positive correlation between a greater behavioural propensity to engage in revenge porn and higher levels of the Dark Triad and ambivalent sexism. Moreover, endorsement of psychopathy was found to be the only Dark Triad trait that independently predicted revenge porn proclivity. The results suggest that perpetrators of revenge porn may have distinct personality profiles. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

“…While previous studies have examined personal factors related to the non-consensual sharing of sexual images, such as subjective norms and personal attitudes (Clancy et al, 2019) or benevolent and hostile sexism (Morelli et al, 2016), the present study has illustrated how gendered social dynamics shape this practice. A thorough understanding of this problematic and illegal practice must therefore consider the social aspects of how these images are shared.…”

“…Moreover, Henry et al (2019, p. 15) propose that future qualitative research focus on the role of peer support and bystanders in relation to the non-consensual sharing of sexual images. Given that studies have found that this Morten Birk Hansen Mandau Article: Homosocial positionings and ambivalent participation practice is more common among young adults than in other age groups (Morelli et al, 2016;Ruvalcaba & Eaton, 2019), it is particularly relevant to investigate these practices among young adults.…”

Although quantitative studies have found gender diff erences in the non-consensual sharing of privately produced sexual images, few studies have explored how these sharing practices are shaped by the gendered social interactions in which they take place. Drawing on qualitative data from seven same-sex focus group interviews, this study examines the non-consensual sharing and viewing of sexual images among young adults. Th e investigation shows how the non-consensual sharing and viewing of sexting images is shaped by homosocial interactions and functions in gendered patterns of positioning, characterized by status enhancement among boys and visual gossiping among girls. However, the study also fi nds that young adults' participation in these sharing practices is ambivalent, as they experience being both drawn to sexual images due to their private and authentic character, and repelled by them owing to the wrongfulness and illegality of sharing them. Th ese fi ndings are discussed in relation to research on youth sexting.

This entry provides an overview of sexism and gender stereotyping in two critical domains of adolescent development: academics and romantic relationships. In the section focusing on academics, the coverage mainly centers on inequities that adolescent girls experience in math‐related fields of study; however, there is also discussion of the academic challenges that boys from marginalized groups encounter. The section focusing on romantic relationships details the ways in which hostile sexism and benevolent sexism shape heterosexual dating norms, expectations, and practices. The entry concludes with a discussion of implications and future directions, which emphasizes the importance of interventions that are sensitive to adolescents' membership in multiple social categories.
